Thunderbird still doesn't handle Maildir, which means that if you run kmail 
with the default settings you either loose all your mails or (maybe) have to 
export/import them. I quickly tested this and it did not work (Thunderbird's 
plugin would not read kmail's mbox archive).

For me it's a show stopper, I can't see enough advantages in Thunderbird to go 
through this much work (plus I wouldn't want to change to mbox anyway).
